Hey all! As you may have noticed, our original Robin Hood (Penny-mun that was) has returned to pick up Robin and Pufnstuf

Anyone is welcome to know of Lenneth/Valkyrie. More likely knowing of the Valkyrie and that she's a god. Blah, blah, I can't really think of much except that the world can have at knowing her.

fwiw, Hrist is a Valkyrie name attested in the mythology (through eddic and skaldic poetry), but Lenneth and Silmeria appear to originate in the Valkyrie Profile jRPG universe. Likewise, the idea of three valkyries who cycle through serial reincarnation is peculiar to Valkyrie Profile. The closest the mythology comes is the notion of the three Norns, one of whom (Skuld) has a name also included in some poetic lists of valkyrie names.

On the whole, it seems like the most any non-Valkyrie Profile character could reasonably recognize about the VPverse valkyries is the term valkyrie in general and their mythological function as chooser of the slain rounding up Einherjar.

I never got to study mythology as much as I'd like. I'm glad someone knows enough about it :3
